IMO, Bedard has had the hype dropped on him prematurely, much to his disadvantage. He is finding that NHL level players are a HUGE step up from his prior competition, and he is on a team that has no secondary threat, so the kid is not aided by the situation.
The 'Hawk special team systems blow. And I am not sold on Puke Richardson or Derek King as being even competent coaches. But, I don't think that there will be any changes in-season.
This 'Hawk fan is happy with getting the Bedard NHL level reps, but, have no seasional exptectations. I can hardly wait to see the dead weight veterans dumped. I've no use for Perry, Foligno, Donato, or Murphy.
